I think that my personal favorite
event this year was when I went down to the rifle range. I had no idea how I
was going to do; I had never even shot a gun before but I picked it up and
got9 out of 10 shots in the bulls-eye.

Bobby:

With working this summer, my
favorite memory was visiting with a boy named Nathanialto give him some signed bluecards when he
gave me the biggest hug and a cool looking rock to remember him in the summer.
I was humbled to see how much of an impact I made to those I was with this
year. This memory is one that I won’t forget.

Joe:

Well this year I wanted to just go
to the range to shoot ‘prone, ’ but they wouldn’t let me unless I was shooting
for an award. So I told them that I was going for the Bucklin Award and shot my
best. As it turns out, I met all the requirements for the badge and won the
award!

Tim:

My favorite memory was when I played
reveille in the senior scout tent to wake them up.

Liam:

One day when we were at Ashaway
waiting for kayaks, there were three scouts in a rowboat drifting toward shore.
They didn’t know how to row and the Charlie Brown motorboat had to come and
save them. When they began to tow the canoe, the bow dipped in the water and
the whole canoe was swamped.

Sam:

I liked building my own bow and
arrow in camp and I thought that the food in the dining hall was awesome.

Ryan:

I really liked wood carving in the
campsite.

Andrew:

I liked sailing in the pond and just
being around all my friends. I loved to wake up to the water and going around
to all my merit badge classes.

Micah:

I liked all the merit badges that I
took including: rifle shooting, wilderness survival, and swimming— even though
I got partials on most of them.
